"Very good overall. The recording is enjoyable despite the few glitches, the audience were on fire and the band was clearly pumped to play their first gig ever in Scotland... A not-to-be-missed show from the early days!"

Comments:
U2's first concert in Scotland took place in November 1980 in Edinburgh, with a sell-out attendance of 400 people the band was really on fire during this show. Great performances of Electric Co & 11 O'Clock are highlights here while listening to a recording that is up to the standards of the ones from recent years. A real must-have and gem from the early days.

I just listened to this show again, I had forgotten how great it is. The performance and sound are even better than I remembered. Up there with the greatest early 80's bootlegs such as Hilversum or Lido Beach.
